“But, even ignoring international law and that Gaza is under illegal Israeli occupation, Gaza did not initiate this current round of violence; Israel did: …On May 20th, the Israeli government murdered 2 unarmed Palestinian teens, one on video, and wounded a third. The firing of pathetic scrap metal rockets from impoverished Gaza, which have killed no one, were in fact launched in response to earlier Israeli bombings, killings, assassinations, and arrests of Palestinians, including children.”

“Unless and until the Obama administration decides to end its unconditional backing for Israel’s right-wing government and instead support Israeli and Palestinian moderates, there will be no hope for peace.”

“The people in Gaza are struggling to survive. This misuse of US military aid for attacks, bombings, invasions, seizures of resources, settlement construction, wall-building, destruction
of homes and other war crimes must not continue. ”
